Genesis Natural Gas and Propane Grills

We also like that the base sits on four casters—as opposed to the Spirit II models’ two fixed wheels—making it easier for folks of varying abilities to maneuver the cart around their patio. With almost no fiddling on our part, the Spirit and Genesis grills we tested both produced perfect barbecue chicken, while other contenders produced either flabby barbecue or charred chicken and burnt sauce. And in our indirect-cooking test, the Spirit II E-310 turned out a pair of flawless roasted birds that were deeply browned with skin so crisp, it puffed up like a balloon. The Weber Spirit II E-310 provides an unrivaled combination of top-notch grilling performance, a versatile three-burner design, durability, and a relatively affordable price.

Whether they were charcoal or propane, stationary or portable, all of our favorite Weber grills had some things in common. High-quality Weber grills are easy to assemble (although as with most other brands, the charcoal grills have fewer parts and are simpler to put together than gas models). The best grills are intuitive to use, without confusing bells and whistles. The heat source is consistent, as well as simple to adjust and add to while cooking.

Upon delivery, the driver will take it off the truck for you but it is your responsibility to bring it onto your property. The Weber gas grill offers a convenient grilling option throughout the year. Easy to turn on and off, gas grills make it simple to cook up delicious meats and veggies. These versatile BBQ options are great for the home and on the go. For tailgating or camping, shop our Weber portable grills to take delicious meals everywhere, or browse a full range of sizes for expert backyard BBQs. One of the best ways to test a grill’s capabilities is setting it up for two-zone grilling.

This grill can also be upgraded with the Weber Connect technology suite (sold separately). This smart system allows you to monitor grill and food temps via your smartphone, provides step by step recipes and instructions and provides cooking time estimates to keep you on schedule. Ace makes it easy to find the perfect Weber gas grill for you.

Make your backyard the envy of the neighborhood with Weber grills or smokers from Ace Hardware. The Weber name has long been one of America’s leading BBQ grill brands. Whether you’re looking for a gas grill for your backyard barbecue party or a portable grill for your next family camping trip, Weber has you covered. There’s more too — compared to his old grill, he says he finds the heat more even, and the sear-zone more effective. While it’s a lower power and takes slightly longer to cook on than his old grill, something we confirmed during testing, he says the results have been better every time once he got used to this aspect. I remember when the hulking stainless steel Weber arrived and how he taught me about char-zones and indirect heat, and how in his own words, it was the key to a perfect burger.

It’s just another way that Weber helps you stay where the party is. Weber added two new models to its Spirit line of gas grills in 2020, but we ultimately chose not to test them. One of them, the Spirit S-315, is similar to our top pick, the Spirit II E-310, but has a few cosmetic differences, such as a stainless steel lid and metal dials.

I could get a better, more even sear in my cast-iron pan sitting on the grill’s side burner. Shipping refunded for incorrect or damaged items only (must report within 48 hours of delivery).

The Weber Spirit II E-210 is a smaller, two-burner version of our top pick; the materials and build are identical. The E-210 is 4 inches narrower, and its cooking area is 15% smaller, but it still provides enough space to snugly fit a cut-up whole chicken or six to eight burger patties. Choose dedicated smokers if you want tender meat falling off the bone, packed with the flavor of whatever smoking chips you choose to cook with. While smokers reward patient cooking, the flavorful meals are well worth the wait. Look for options with built-in lid thermometers and silicone temperature grommets to help ensure your meats are cooked properly from start to finish.
